2008 H2
 

Not only is it getting a 6.2L 403hp engine, but it's getting a completely new interior. Should be out this summer(July-ish). Price TBD.
There's also a 7 seater H2 coming. Basically it's just the addition of a 2 place seat in the back. No word on colors.

Re: 2008 H2
 

They've contacted me about making rock rails for it, but we're still $200K apart on the signing bonus.

Re: 2008 H2
 

Probably because they know my new & improved design is underway.:clapping:

Re: 2008 H2
 

I'll send you my Paypal address for the royalties. Thanks.

Re: 2008 H2
 

Good info DRTYFN. Are we going to see this at an auto show before summer? Perhaps NY?

Re: 2008 H2
 

Cool DRTY!! Thanks for the update!!

Re: 2008 H2
 

Should be at the NYC show. We need picture-taking scouts.

Re: 2008 H2
 

i think im going and i will def. bring my cam.:jump:

Re: 2008 H2
 

What kind of interior? Hopefully the dash still resembles a Hummer and not an Escalade.

Finally, a new power plant!:dancingbanana: Are you sure?;)

Re: 2008 H2
 

I might be able to get down there. Maybe someone could get me some good access so I can gather pictures up close.

Re: 2008 H2
 

yeah, im really afraid of them turning the interior into something with bling. GM's pickups interiors are getting more blingy. h2's need to have a rugged interior, just my .02

Re: 2008 H2
 

I have already placed my order. i ordered the olive color. I have only seen teh color smapl, so it's hard to say how good it will look. it falls between the orignal green and the desert sand.

I have been working very hard for COHUMMER to get his sign on bonus. since I am the PR Manager for his fast growing enterprise, I see it only fit to get the sign on bonus and split a large portion of it with me.

Drty, I'm sorry you declined the COHUMMER/DRTYFN partnership. you could have had a good thing. :fdance:

Re: 2008 H2
 

Me too. We had a deal all worked out for CO HUMMERFN apparel line.

Re: 2008 H2
 

i hope they dont screw up the interior with a car like design, like on new gm suvs.

Re: 2008 H2
 

i second that...i dont like the new GM suv interiors. My only suggestion is that they could use less plastic in the H2 interior. But all in all, I am 110% happy with the beast. My wife just said that the local hummer dealer was offering some great rebates and financing on new 07 H2's....perhaps she was hinting for me to get a new one?

:excited:

Re: 2008 H2
 

X2

I love my 03 STILL!!

However, I hate all the F'in plastic. I may be taking a new job, and if/when I do, I will reward myseld with an New H2 (2008)!

Re: 2008 H2
 

even my wifes 04 trailblazer LT has padded dash and doors on it and it was only $38K so why cant the hummer?

I know they put the money into other things in the truck...yadda yadda....

Re: 2008 H2
 

I like the current H2 interior ya less plastic would be nice, and perhaps a different steeringwheel not so fond of the current one, but other than that i love it! Also i agree with everyone i hope they dont make to escalade like i hope the keep like a Hummer interior.

Re: 2008 H2
 

Can't wait to see the changes! Even old news is good news :giggling:

No worries...I'm used to people doubting me until a little time has passed ;) :D (e.g. 2007 H2s getting BFGs back temporarily, and no more yellow H3s)

Re: 2008 H2
 

Yeah, but you got all of your info from here first.
This is just one of the threads scooping you.

Re: 2008 H2
 

touch? on the scoop! Although I'm not sure if it was here or somewhere else that I found out about the changes...(Sometimes you have to wait to announce things you know so you wont get in trouble :) ) So this is a just repost? I kid, I kid...

Re: 2008 H2
 

If it is a total redesign, I wonder what that will do to resale values on the pre-08's? Who knows, maybe they'll bling it out to much and the older ones will actually increase in value. :fdance:

Re: 2008 H2
 

Yeah right.:p :giggling: :giggling: :giggling:

Re: 2008 H2
 

Somewhere I thought I read that the new SUT is coming out MY 2008....Maybe one of the 4x4 ragazines. Is this the change to the cargo area as stated on that site, or is that the seat reconfig? or does no one really know and talking out their arses!!!:D

Re: 2008 H2
 

This is not considered a redesign. It's a model freshening. :confused:

The complete redesign isn't scheduled for at least a couple more years along with the Duramax... ;)

Re: 2008 H2
 

This is very old news

Re: 2008 H2
 

Are they changing anything on the exterior? I hope not. The H1 barely ever changed on the outside.

The side mirrors and radio antennae is the only thing I know of changing on the H2 so far.

Re: 2008 H2
 

and:

rear bumper

tire carrier

and I think that;s it.

Re: 2008 H2
 

Hopefully the outside will stay very similar, but the interior could be up-scaled a bit... (I hope they keep the jet-plane-shifter!) :p

Do you think the new engine will be equipped with GM's FlexFuel engine and/or active fuel management? (Where some valves shut off when not needed?) :confused: I think a boost in MPGs will get green peace off our backs and more people into the driver's seat! :D

Re: 2008 H2
 

I was thinking the same thing. The extra horsepower will hopefully give better gas mileage. That active fuel management on the Tahoes sounds awesome but I bet it complicates things under the hood, sounds expensive to fix.

I hope they dont change the exterior. Thats the beauty of Hummer. Only select few know if you have an 03 or an 07.

in my opinion, forget the bling. If I wanted bling I would buy an Escalade. A Hummer should be a truck first, users can add their own bling.

Re: 2008 H2
 

I will definately be going to the NY show. Camera will be with me so will take alot of pics for you guys and gals.

Re: 2008 H2
 

I just went to the Atlantic City custom car show this weekend and Hummer was the only new car vendor there. The rep said that although it is not definate, it is possible that the diesel is in the works for the 08. She stated that GM is working on the diesels to make them more smog compliant for the newer and tougher fed laws. Although at this time these diesels are the planned for other GM trucks, there has been alot of interest in a diesel H2, and it is a possibilty of doing it if they can work out all the extra engineering. She told me that we should know the 08 future by April at the NY show.

Re: 2008 H2
 

Yes they will -- and yes.

Re: 2008 H2
 

you guys will that 6.2 our denalies have them now if they will give you all the 6 speed auto then you will really be cooking!

Re: 2008 H2
 

WTF did you just try to say?

Re: 2008 H2
 

Hahaha. You remind me of that guy in the move Snatch. "What did he just say". :D

Re: 2008 H2
 

On the SNATCH Special Edition, they have a "Pikey" subtitle track so just when Brad Pitt speaks, it's subtitled!! HiLaRiOuS!!!
